That's not what I wrote. Merely pointing out why Romney may be staying out until later on based upon making the same observation as Robertson.

I really don't know how you could have misread my post so badly.

"Well. If they want to lose, this is the game for losers."

Pat Robertson is a kook. Outside of perhaps the evangelical community, I don't know anyone that doesn't think otherwise. Nice deflection attempt though

No, you don't understand. I am not in support of what Pat Roberson says or believes. I am not for a theocracy.

I think that's exactly right--he's trying not to engage the other candidates any more than he has to so he can look more like "the voice of reason." It's tricky though, because once a clear #2 comes out of the field, they're going to throw everything they have at him, and he's going to have to tack more far right to win the primary, or potentially lose. The problem is that he can't win the general if he goes too far right. He's in a bad spot, and he's a flawed candidate to begin with.

When you have the looniest of right wing loonies saying that the GOP candidates are looney... that's some deep lunacy.
